Hardly seems that it could have been
Five years ago that we first met.
Sometimes it was only yesterday
And others it was an eternity ago.

We've grown and changed together,
Though the only thing that will never change
Is that I love you.

Though we fight sometimes more
Than we make love,
It always comes back to that.
Through all that we face together
I will never aks for more than
You can give --
Only that you love me in return.
And always give me the chance
To come around again
To that place we share.

I've never known the pain of loving
Someone so much as when I'm with you,
But pain I can enjoy
Because it's erased by your touch
Or your smile
Or just knowing that you are happy.
